Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used herbicide and crop desiccant. In recent years the cancer-research arm of the WHO announced that it is probable that glyphosate is carcinogenic to humans. Vacuum Distillation (Evaporation) – the most popular method for removing glyphosate has high capital and operational costs.

Infinite Water designed a process to treat 25,000 litres / day of industrial effluent high in organics, glyphosate and other hydrocarbon-based herbicides.

The HYDROXON™ process successfully reduced glyphosate levels from 500 mg/L to below 20 mg/L (>95% reduction) as well as treated other pollutants to meet discharge regulations. The capital cost and operational cost was less than half of an evaporator system.
